Can confirm that this is OK spot for Austria, but still most people just went to České Budějovice. Recommend to stand at the exit and use the sign, since some cars are just passing through.

Medium tradic going mostly to České Budějovice, sometimes South (Austria, Linz). Also truckers behind the gas station.

Asked around the gas station. Most drivers go to Prague, but we got also ride to South (České Budějovice)

Not many people use the gas station, we got lucky, and people picked us up from the highway and took all the way to Szeged. Ask around.

Ok spot in Brno, people did not stop much. The cops came to tell us away but after explaining to them that there is no other good spot, they went away. Cars going relatively slow with a place to pull over. (Not trucks) Bring a sign.

Good spot to travel to Ostrava or even further. We have stopped a couple going to Warsaw in less than 20 minutes.

this bus stop is better then the one before, some lady said that here it could be better, and it was, no shadow so a lot of sun but worth it

We wanted to get to jaromer wich isprettz far away. So we stared hitchhiking near the metro station but that didn’t go well so we decided to move a bit further. But still It’s pretty hard to stop there beacuse the cars are going there really fast. We got really lucky and man,woman pair stoped and get us to jaromer.

The highway was partly close up, so we decided to hitchike on the bus stop, we we’re still a feel meters from it and showed the sign to some cars, third guy gestured us and we ran up to the gas station where he stoper. Took us to Prague, even tho he lives in a village before prg. He was cool

it was a daylight. really bad. no one would’ve wanted to stop. there is police watching but they don’t touch you if you are staying next to the circle. one guy was arriving home from work and he pulled us.

Hitchhiked from this spot twice. Last year we waited a few minutes and immidiately got a car to Vienna. This year we waited aprox. a half an hour and then a two cars stopped for us and offered us a lift to some Czech towns along the road which we declined. After one more hour we sucesfully got a lift to Vienna. In my opinion, and based on my local knowledge probably the best spot to hitchhike from Brno towards Vienna. The cars are going fast, but theres lots of them. I Recommend to hold a big directon sign.

good place, easily accessible by public transport. A truck driver from Turkey picked me up after 30 minutes to the border, after the border a couple from the Czech Republic.

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

Super easy spot heading west! Cars slow down as they approach the town, and it seems like many are just passing through, heading either west or south. I managed to get a ride all the way to the Czech Republic (hey, Leon 👋). A lot of cars, though!

If you're trying to cross the border into the Czech republic then this is the place to be. Good traffic and it's possible for the drivers to stop just before entering the on ramp. Of you're patient then it should be possible to get a ride to Prague from here.

Impossible trip to the Czech Republic, 4 hours and nothing. it's better to choose a different place

We're extremely lucky, the first car took us until Nordhausen (we're heading to Harz) but generally very good spot for going to Germany. All Germans stops here because the gas is cheaper in the Czech Republic and it's the last gas station before Germany.

I was left here by driver who took me from Krakow (late Sunday) and just after I left the car and asked the first I noticed there (many stop for gas, to rest etc.) I had a lift to connect A1 (I needed to go the the Czech Republic border).

Over one year later, I was here again, and have to take back what I said before. The place where I hitchhiked last year is not a good spot. This time I hitchhiked right next Mercur and ofter 20 mins got a lift to the highway. Unless it is Friday and lots of Poles and Czechs are going home the chance someone will take you to the Czech Republic is low, so hitchhike without a sign, and get as far as you can ;)

Friday morning only few cars were going to the Czech Republic. Waiting 2 hours. (But good place for spent time - in fuel station is unlimited free wifi and electricity with tables)

not really sure if this was the spot, but most probably it was, anyway, here should be a bus statio which is a great spot towards the Czech Republic, cars stop at the lights and have enough space to pull over. I was there about 30 min and then a guy took me about 20-30 km further.

2 of us waited for about 2 hours to get a lift towards the Czech Republic- we got very lucky. It was not a good spot, not much traffic, not many cars going that way. (It was Thursday evening, 5-7pm)

From the city center, walk trough the Rybnicka street. You can stay in the front of BP petrol station. A lot of local traffic, but some of the cars are going to the A4 (Katowice, Krakw or Opole, Wrocaw) or southwards to the Rybnik, Bohumn, Ostrava and farther to the Czech republic)
